Erle Stanley Gardner (1889–1970)
Auteur de The Case of the Velvet Claws
A propos de l'auteur
Mystery writer Erle Gardner was born on July 17, 1889 in Malden, Massachusetts. In 1902, he had moved to Oroville, CA. His parents could not afford to send a second son to college, so he worked in a legal office as a clerk reading law. He spent a short time at Valparaiso University in Indiana but afficher plus had to drop out because of an illegal boxing exhibition. He continued to travel throughout California and read law at several law offices and finally passed the bar in 1911, at the age of 21. He married Natalie Francis Beatrice Talbert on April 9, 1912. In 1916, he formed the Law Firm of Orr and Gardner in Venture, CA. Gardner used many pseudonyms such as Charles Green, Kyle Corning and Grant Holiday. While working as an attorney, he began writing fiction. In 1921, "Nellie's Naughty Nighty" was published in the pulp magazine Breezy Stories. He had a goal of writing 100,000 words a month and would sometimes write two or more stories a day. In 1923, "The Shrieking Skeleton" was sold to the Black Mask Magazine. In the 1930's, Gardner had two manuscripts that were rejected and than "rediscovered" by Thayer Hobson, the president of the William Morrow Publishing Company, and rewritten as courtroom mysteries. During this process, the character Perry Mason was born. In 1933, the first Perry Mason book was written, "The Case of the Velvet Claws." The next one was entitled "The Case of the Sulky Girl" and they were followed by more than eighty additional Mason mysteries. Gardner died on March 11, 1970. (Bowker Author Biography) afficher moins

Critiques
I hadn't read this Perry Mason mystery in a long time, and had forgotten that his relationship with his secretary Della Street was sometimes an after-hours thing.
These are typical of the series, but not outstanding.
These are typical of the series, but not outstanding.
This was a neat little puzzle with excellent misdirecting clues, one of the more tightly plotted ESG that I've read. It also has the classic cross examination trick of rapid fire questioning to elicit the truth (à la Legally Blonde) which is a premise I'm always happy to accept in fictionland. These were topped off with some coy ol' fashion smoochin' between Perry and Della, the development of which I must pinpoint, which book of the series did this start happening!
I think I must have bought this secondhand when I was a teenager - one of the people Mason is engaged to defend is a 'leg model' so there is some excuse for the cover picture. There was no court room action at all in this story and no police questioning either, unless you count their questioning of Mason himself at the end.
I didn't really enjoy this one: the client was obnoxious, everyone lied to Mason, Mason lied to the police, Mason was supercilious with Paul Drake, and there was a fair amount of repetition. It is very fortunate that the people Mason represents always turn out to be innocent...I think it is time my small ESG collection is returned to a secondhand book store.… (plus d'informations)

Seriously, the 82nd Perry Mason novel (but my first) is murder by numbers. The dialogue is uninventive, the mystery intriguing but ultimately more of an exercise than a narrative, and things plod along smoothly with the clockwork sound of an expert pulp writer. There's nothing really wrong with it, and I like that Gardner is (very lightly) self-parodic in the denouement scene, where an eccentric judge somehow convinces all parties to bypass usual trial procedure and just tell their stories to one another.
Still, I doubt I'd go back to this well very much, even if the "golden era" novels are much more clever in their execution. It just has that feel of a jobbing writer churning out another volume. There's nothing wrong with that (I'm gradually moving into that field myself) but this book fulfills its function, nothing more.… (plus d'informations)
